Women's health is expanding into the larger concept of gender-specific medicine.
Information on sex differences needs to be translated
into preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic practice.
Gender should be considered when designing and analyzing servicelines, practice patterns and research studies
in all areas and at all levels of healthcare.
Gender specific servicelines utilizing the evolving information
on sex differences can be implemented to positively
affect patient outcomes and improve health and
healthcare.
My staff and I were initially impressed by the enormity of energy and dedication required in creating and perfecting the Making a Difference Heart to Heart program. The preceptorship breaks down "how to try this at home" into understandable segments, covering every facet of new program development from business planning and operations to outcomes tracking and profitability. Caroline
Norman and Stephanie Supple are truly amazing, inventive
and dedicated professionals. The quality of women's
cardiovascular care you provide will be noticeably augmented by utilizing their methodology and support systems.
